PS3 slim is just a slimmed down PS3. Doesn't add any new functionality or value. Not going to sell a lot better than the PS3 fat.

Natalbox is a 360 with added gimmicky motion controls. It's not going to sell until they start developing good games for it. Third parties aren't going to release anything worthwhile until a year or so after it launches (As the wii has shown, third parties are timid in relations to gimmicky motion controls, and have a hard time developing for new control schemes). Unless Rare develops a game better than Wii Sports, Natal is never going to catch on in the casual arena.

 

Dude, it is not hard to make a game like wii sports or even wii fit. Natal development kits are already in the hands of developers...so you can expect some great games upon releases for Natal. Games that required body and feet movement ala boxing, soccer, tennis, dodgeball, tai bo, can't be done properly on a Wiimote, but on Natal, it is very much a possibility. And from the overall great and positive reactions from press and people in general, Natal can be just as big as the Wii.

 

 

To be honest, I don't think you can let the third party developers come up with great ideas for Natal or the PS3 Motion Controller. Look at the Wii; developers have been working with it for 3 years and its still Nintendo that pushes the next big thing with their motion controller. I agree with Showertea in that MS and Sony have to create something better than Wii Sports, and it has nothing to do with the fact that the game is hard to develop, it is the fact that Nintendo already came up with the idea and sold it to millions, so for them to just throw in a Wii Sports like game will not  get the typical Wii customer buy Sony's or MS's consoles.
